It seems that most of the time talking to the dice before I roll them has no effect. It’s as if they aren’t even paying attention. Why am I wasting my limited incantation supply on trivial things like gaming? I have to save them for important things like traffic lights and vending machines.

Where did the name “snake eyes” for double ones come from, anyway? I mean, snakes have slitted pupils, not round, so they don’t really look like the pips on dice. They should have been called puppy eyes or something.
